III.2.2 AC-Adaptor The AC adaptor supplies R/S Rheometer with power. Only the AC-adaptor delivered by BROOKFIELD with your Rheometer may be used for power supply of R/S Rheometer. The AC-adaptor may be inserted to the socket with corresponding grounding only. Connect the AC adaptor only using the plug in a proper way grounded to avoid electric shocks or damage of the system components. Pay attention also to “Requirements to the mains cable” (see Appendix). Connecting the AC-ad
